If you live in Colorado, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin, New Mexico, or anywhere near Nevada – please, please do everything you can to get the vote out.
Volunteer to go canvassing this weekend, call people, give people rides to the polls, anything.. This is it, this is the last chance to do something.

If people actually vote, there is no way Trump could win.
Apparently for the debate on October 9th you can submit, and vote on, questions to be asked of Hillary and Trump.
For now, it is dominated by questions very unfriendly to Clinton.
We should share this far and wide and change this.
I would love to see questions on preserving freedom of the press, reducing inequality, adapting to climate change, preserving the U.S. credit rating (with Trump saying earlier how he would be ok defaulting on U.S. debt), and teaching critical thinking
this is incredibly important, and as much as I loathe to pollute my blog with politics, I will always post this.
I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000. Bernie supporters, don’t make the same mistake I did
Bernie is not a socialist. He is a social democrat, like so many European
politicians (with a bit more integrity perhaps).
And Trump is not a fascist. He is a power-hungry autocratic narcissist,
like Chavez, Putin and Peron.
I hate it when people throw around labels they don’t understand.
I grew up in a socialist – and autocratic – country, and I know.
Bernie is likely to slow down our transition from capitalism into
corpocracy, though unlikely to be any more successful at reversing it than Obama was. Getting to nominate 3 Supreme Court justices could go a long way though.
Trump is likely to get us into a global war, thus guaranteeing that corpocracy never happens, since humans would never have a global civilization again.
But now we’ve reached the point where the choice is no longer between
Bernie and Trump, but between Hillary and Trump.
It may be inconvenient for many, but this is just how it is.
